This great new app from Attainment allows you to use your iPod, iPhone or iPad as a switch (or two switches) to access programs on your computer! (Works with Mac and PC.)

This app needs you to use a wireless connection (wifi or ad hoc) and the free Switch Helper App for it to work. (I am hoping that they add Bluetooth too! Since getting a wifi network allow access in a school can be tough.)

Inclusive Technology is offering a free e-book called The Switch Progression Road Map. It is a guide to teaching switch use in incremental portions. The Road Map is useful in the way all task analysis are useful; you can assess to pinpoint where each child is, create goals and benchmarks and plan future interventions. I should note that their is a fair amount of shilling of Inclusive Technology products in the guide, but it is very useful none-the-less.
